Why you should NOT supplement high-dose D3
https://youtu.be/GsomcvdT7Po This random video I came across deserves more views. If you're baffled about how to get enough vitamin D when not exposed to regular sunlight, try supplementing raw cold-pressed cod liver oil instead along with vitamin K. https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/cod-liver-oil

Help...At my wits end
Hi I apologise if I posting this in the wrong place. I have not been diagnosed with hypothyroid. My Dr and myself thought that may have been the problem due to my many problems! I had a borderline result 18 months ago TSH was 1.05 and T4 10.4 but that is now normal: TSH 1.76 and T4 12.7. I am feeling

Should I request an increase in thyroxine?
Hi there. I’m a 56 year old fit and healthy female despite being recently diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. I have a medication review with the clinical pharmacist at my GPs soon and wanted to know if I should request an increase in thyroxine? I have been taking 75mcg Teva for 6 months but

Another battle
Just back from GP, having won another battle to get my Levo increased. It is so tiring feeling that I am really pushing to be given drugs. Conversation went like this: Me: my symptoms have worsened so I did a private blood test, the results show that my FT43 and FT4 have lowered and my TSH has increased

How to convince your GP a suppressed TSH is ok?
For years I’ve had a suppressed TSH following a trial of T3 probably 5 years ago which didn’t work and I haven’t taken it for around 4 years (need to check my records for exact dates). My GP has always been fine with it, and even the rubbish NHS endo agreed it would take time to recover - or as I know

Anaemia
I have graves disease but GP only tests TSH levels and T3. When I saw GP due to rapid heartbeat, breathlessness and muscle weakness he did full blood test and said I was anaemic. I take 5mg of carbimazole- could this medication cause anaemia? Is this common in graves? I used to have thyroid blood tests

A year down the line and no further forward
Hi all, I was diagnosed around a year ago with hypothyroidism after weeks and weeks of dieting and exercising like mad with no results. I was dieting to get in shape for a knee replacement. My GP did blood tests which she described my thyroid as being “in my boots”. I started on 50mcg daily and

Sertraline and contraindication
Background - I was recently started on levothyroxine after many years of not feeling well after having a private health screening through work which flagged up a higher than normal tsh and a low t4 reading. It seems that my tsh had been going up for a long time but was never flagged as it was deemed

Hello, started on Levothyroxine late last year after being diagnosed with sub clinical hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's). After a bit of tweaking with dosage from GP they feel I am now on correct dose (alternate 75/50mg daily; I weigh 56kg). I definitely feel better than I did but still have lots of fatigue

New Hospital appointment on Wednesday.
Hi I have posted on here several times in the past year & have had marvellous help & information from you all. I cant remember when I last posted & still having problems finding my previous posts so apologise if I'm repeating myself. I was discharged from Endocrinology a year ago after 2 increases
